In this story, a mother reproaches her son in public, unaware that this simple act has done far-reaching harm to her son. The incident was caused by the son's peeking at women in a public toilet, and was severely beaten and scolded by his mother after he was discovered. This incident not only caused a gap between the mother and her son, but also caused the son to be bullied and ridiculed by his classmates. This story provides us with an opportunity to reflect on how we should properly guide our children in sex education.
It is very normal for children to be curious about sex, and for younger children, they may simply be curious about the differences between men and women and want to learn about these differences through observation. At this time, the attitude and guidance of parents is very important. We must not equate a child's behavior with an adult's behavior, let alone exaggerate a child's behavior.
In this story, the mother blames and scolds her son very violently for his behavior, which brings great harm to the child. In addition, the ridicule and bullying of his son by his classmates also made him feel even more inferior and lonely. This case shows us that adults cannot criticize children unduly, let alone completely neglect to provide children with correct sex education because of their wrong behavior.
In China, sex education for children is often carried out at the junior high school level, and in the family, few people will take the initiative to explain to their children the differences in sexual organs between men and women. Children may be curious about the secrets of their bodies, but rarely have the opportunity to be properly guided. We can't be too surprised and nervous about our child's curiosity, and we can't turn a blind eye to our child's curiosity because we're embarrassed. Parents should provide their children with the right sex education at the right time, let them understand the structure and differences of the body, and tell them which behaviors are unacceptable.
A 3D body science book called "Our Body" can help parents educate their children about sexuality. This book popularizes the knowledge and skills of sex education to children through various forms such as pop-up picture books, physiological enlightenment and self-protection awareness cultivation. Parents can explore the mysteries of the body with their children by reading this book and tell them what is intimate and what behavior is unacceptable.
In addition, parents should also guide their children to establish correct values and moral values. They need to know what respect and privacy are, and what public and private spaces are. By facilitating discussions and sharing, parents can help them understand why some behaviors are unacceptable and the importance of respect and protection for others.
At the same time, parents should also remind their children how to deal with the ridicule and bullying that their classmates may have about sexual issues. They can tell children not to feel ashamed and inferior because of other people's words, but to believe that their actions are right and to seek help from teachers and parents to solve the problem. By helping children build self-confidence and belief in the correctness of their actions, we can alleviate their pain of being bullied.
In short, when it comes to sex education, we can't ignore children's curiosity and risk-taking, and we can't ignore children's curiosity because of our own embarrassment. Correct sex education is important for children's growth and development, and we need to help children establish correct sexual concepts and values through appropriate guidance and discussion, so that they can make the right choices and responses when facing sexual problems.
